Chapter 567: Help (2)

Shuangjiang said quickly, "This is the Imperial Physician Gao from the palace. He is the one who cured my cousin. He is now staying in our Chen residence, so it is convenient for him to give my cousin acupuncture and change her medicine."

Luo Tan frowned. Although she was somewhat masculine and lacked the delicateness of a woman, she, like countless other women, loved beautiful things. Back in the day when she was in Xiaochun City, if there was a handsome young man on the stage, Luo Tan would drag Shen Miao along to give him a tip. This was enough to show how much Luo Tan valued a man's appearance. If it were any other day, Luo Tan would probably be polite to such a handsome young man in white. But now, with Shen Miao in her heart, she had no time to admire even a fairy. She said, "Doctor Gao, I have something important to attend to."

Gao Yang couldn't help but choke. He had heard people call him "Mr. Gao" and "Doctor Gao", but he had never heard anyone call him "Doctor Gao". This made him suddenly feel as if he was a doctor working in a clinic in the market, a barefoot doctor who would rush out with a medical box on his back whenever someone came to ask for help.

This was simply unbearable for Gao Yang, who was always picky and self-loving.

He glanced at Luo Tan again. Her complexion wasn't the fair, delicate white of the women in the capital; it had a healthy, tan hue. Even though she looked frail, she stood there like a vibrant plant, exuding a certain vigor. Her brow furrowed as she glared at Gao Yang, her delicate features becoming even more vibrant. It was the first time Gao Yang had seen someone so full of life three days after being stabbed. Recalling the shock of seeing Luo Tan's injuries for the first time, Gao Yang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Even a man with such injuries would have struggled to survive, yet Luo Tan, a girl, had managed to hold on until they were discovered. Her will to survive was truly intense.

Gao Yang considered himself a man who was kind and gentle to women, but he disliked the scheming and formidable tigress like Shen Miao. He also disliked Luo Tan, who was rude, stubborn, and unfeelingly tough. He immediately said, "General Shen and Madam Shen asked me to cure the young lady. I cured her, but she's been running around, causing her old illness to relapse. I can't bear the blame for her ineffective treatment, so please don't wander around."

Luo Tan was anxious, so he could only patiently explain, "I have something important to do. I'll tell my aunt and uncle in person when I get back. This has nothing to do with you. Is that okay?"

"No." Gao Yang said, "As the 'imperial physician', I must be responsible for my patients." He emphasized the word "imperial physician" heavily, hoping that Luo Tan could understand that he was different from those doctors in the market.

Luo Tan didn't notice his emphasis, and instead sent the message out. He angrily said, "You're a doctor, why do you care about me?"

"First, I am the imperial physician. Second, Brother Luo Ling entrusted the girl to me before he left. If the girl really has something important to do, I can make a trip for her. Just let her know."

Luo Tan bit her lip. Shen Miao had told her that the matter concerning Prince Rui must not be told to anyone else, and it was because Shen Miao trusted Luo Tan that she told him. Luo Tan had always been stubborn, and given Prince Rui's sensitive status, she knew that no one, not even Shen Miao's maids, could know about it. She glared at Gao Yang fiercely.

"If the girl changes her mind, it is better to take the medicine first. After taking the medicine, the girl will get better sooner and will naturally be able to do important things." Gao Yang said with a smile.

Luo Tan asked Bai Lu to bring the medicine bowl, and he drank it all in one breath, looking quite heroic. After finishing the drink, he put the medicine bowl down with a bang and said to Gao Yang, "Is this all right now?"
